Good for you. Try it again while someone is trying to cut you in half.
Hurling is like soccer matches where the two teams go back to front with intermittent periods of head tennis mingled in between.
Was it the Clare vs Cork or Kilkenny vs Galway all ireland final replay where tickets went on general sale?
I know thereâs a Stephen Daniels who plays for Waterford but I donât think Paul Daniels ever played it.

Colonised corporate think . We are distinct with a sport that reflects us . Anglo /Italian folk like yourself tend to follow simple games pimped by Murdoch and Berlusconi . I feel sorry for you.
Why does nobody play it
Keith Barry is a blaa .
Simple games are ones where you can score from your own half.
Soccer is too intellectual for thick roasters from Munster.
Hurling is snakes and ladders to soccerâs chess.
Cos we never took over other countries or pillaged their resources . A soccer fan is an imperialism fan .
Both teams can score from own half . That too can be stopped . more things to ponder . Soccer is 1 times tables to hurlingâs logarithms and trigonometry .
No mate, scoring from your own half is frequent in hurling, it is easy to do.
Scoring from your own half in soccer is extremely rare, it is an extremely tough thing to do.
Thereâs a reason why hurlers draw the dole and look for handouts from the state while soccer players have wealth managers looking after their sizable portfolios.
Oddly enough you are correct but the soccer money is dole money and welfare paying for sky dishes .
I thought this would be a decent enough thread, but it got very silly very quickly. The general jist being that a few league of Ireland types are horrified only 55000 people turned up for a hurling match.

Sure one of the top 4 football teams in the country this year is made up of a group of lads not good enough to play hurling or aussie rules whose holidays didn"t clash with the championship

And thatâs the beauty of it. Unpredictability
I donât look forward to next yearâs hurling semi finals involving Kilkenny, Tipp, Galway and WaterfordâŚagain 
Youâve done sterling work in this thread mate, pints in Croker next Sunday? The bars wonât be busy.
Which cheek of Scotlandâs sectarian arse do you follow ???
Iâll be there mate. Iâll be driving the da so wonât be drinking but a pint in fowlers to toast your victory or just celebrate the end of a great season for your footballers on Sunday evening would be lovely
